Abstract
Most of the optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) described in this work are analog circuits.We, therefore, will restrict ourselves to the design of analog integrated circuits. The exclusion of the design of digital integrated circuits, furthermore, seems to be justified because there are many books describing this topic (for instance [581–583]). The design of analog integrated circuits is, for instance, described in [584]. It will be, therefore, sufficient to give here an overview on the aspects being most relevant for the design of analog OEICs.Since photocurrents have to be converted to signal voltages in most applications, the transimpedance amplifier will be discussed in some detail, especially with respect to its implementation in OEICs.
